I am hopefully picking up TVBs shock this afternoon. 

Please see below for pics of it - I am over the moon! ;D

So, I've read up enough about how to remove the old shock and the like, have a fair idea about how to go about it.  HOWEVER, I would like to know, while I'm in there, what other items might need / like attention?  I have a slight squeak from, I suspect, the swingarm - while the shock is out, would this be a useful time to give that attention?

Then, some technical detail questions:
* Those 2 bolts for the linkage below and the one at the top of the shock: torque settings, red / blue loctite?
* Grease?
* Any other pointers?

Thanks! ;D
